Marlin 60 lawsuit/defect?

I've been shopping for a new 60 this week, and called a couple nearby Marlin dealers for availability. Not finding one in stock, I asked one manager if I could special order one. He told me that a 60 "blew up in a kid's face" so they refuse to carry it, citing lawsuit and liability issues. Not interested in ordering one for me either.

Has anyone heard anything about this? I can't see anything online about a lawsuit or injury or anything of the kind. An occasional mention of a handload misfire (on all kinds of rifles), but nothing to suggest an inherent design/quality problem at Marllin. Kind of a weird experience all around. Any info is appreciated.
